THE GENERAL CIRCULATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE*
Weather, 1958Meteorology is one of the observational sciences, meaning that its data are " given. " But imagination is necessary to know what data are likely to be interesting, ingenuity is required to extract them from the system we study, and substantial material resources may be needed to obtain a representative set. Thus, whereas superficially the system may be

General Circulation of the Atmosphere
2021The “general circulation” refers to the broadscale, mean preferred circulation of the atmosphere. Heating near the Equator causes air to rise, producing a thermally induced low pressure belt near the Equator. This initiates a pressure gradient force that pulls near-surface air from both the Northern and Southern hemispheres toward the Equator ...

Overview Some aspects of the atmospheric circulation were introduced in Chapters 2 and 3. The present chapter begins by providing a historical perspective. We then make extensive use of data from the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis to provide a “top down” perspective, starting with the stratosphere and moving to the tropopause, troposphere and the surface.

General Circulation of the Atmosphere
2020There are two basic factors that determine the general circulation of the Earth’s atmosphere: the latitudinal change of energy received by the Earth-atmosphere system from the Sun and the corresponding global distribution of angular momentum of the atmosphere (Satoh 2014). Air circulation over the Earth is mainly due to non-equal heating of the Earth’s

General Circulation of the Atmosphere | Overview
2015The atmospheric general circulation connotes the motion of the atmosphere, as viewed from a global, long-term perspective. This term is usually applied to the seasonally-varying, climatological-mean circulation, including the statistical properties of the variability of the circulation on day-to-day, week-to-week, and month-to-month time scales, but it

The Global Circulation of Atmospheric Pollutants
Scientific American, 1971Pollution is more than a plume of smoke rising above a factory or a yellowish haze hanging over a city. The foreign substances man introduces into the air spread all over the globe and rise into the upper atmosphere. It is therefore important to learn how each of the major pollutants enters the atmosphere, the speed and extent of its spread and the ...

Atmospheric circulation climate changes
Climatic Change, 1995The role of the atmospheric circulation in climate change is examined. A review is given of the information available in the past record on the atmosheric circulation and its role in climate change, firstly at the surface via sea level pressure in both the northern and southern hemispheres and secondly for the free atmosphere.
